We should display an error message that http/https prefix is needed in order to proceed. I know it says URL and that that's logical but some people may not, would be a handy to add for those less tech-savvy.

Might be a good idea to load only 12 entries at a time so that the footer is visible easily, whoever wants to load more merchants can load them by clicking on a button.

A scrollbar at the bottom does not look pretty and we should consider removing it, unless there's a specific reason why we have it? @joerlop ?

Submission form needs sub-categories.

New submissions for the directory are added week after week.
There are now 150 merchants/apps/hosts registered on the directory.

We only check that the submission-ed website/app effectively uses BTCPayServer, but we cannot assure that it's legit or whatnot.

Some users could potentially think that by being listed, a website is curated and legit, which we can't guarantee.

A simple message (visible maybe at all times at the top of the directory website ?) could fix this.

If agreed, wording in the likes of the following could do the trick:

This directory is provided for information purposes only. We do not guarantee the legitimacy of the websites listed here. Do Your Own Research.

Feedback appreciated !

Fonts: Use the same font family (Open Sans) and font sizes as the website

I'm not sure what we use on the new demo site, but would be cool if we can detect users preferences and then show light/dark as a default, but user can always switch by clicking the icon.

I believe we need preferred color scheme https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme

As mentioned here Name field should be changed to something that reflects that better to avoid confusion, perhaps Company/Project Name would be better, but then again there are individuals as well, so field name can get messy, if someone has better suggestions how to handle this, please suggest.

Found a visual issue in DarkMode on the directory website.
See screenshot below.

Category list is invisible except on mouseover.

Issue doesn't affect light mode.
Issue doesn't appear on Firefox, only on Chrome (Version 81.0.4044.122, up-to-date, cache deleted, cookies also)

The CI pipeline fails, because there are some ESLint warnings, which are counted as errors:

Creating an optimized production build...

Treating warnings as errors because process.env.CI = true.
Most CI servers set it automatically.

Failed to compile.

And some more …

This prevents the automated deployment.

Would be nice to add a search function as lots of people would search for a particular keyword that would show specific list of stores.

Would be cool to add dark mode (consistence with what we have on the main site demo).

Plural vs Singular

When user submit a submission over the website form, the type is non-profit, host, etc.
However in lists.js it's in plural non-profits, hosts.

While this is something a regular contributor can get used to, it may cause some issues and back and forth when someone tries to tackle an issue, so I suggest we standardize it.

@joerlop Perhaps there's a logic in here that I'm missing? I don't think it's a big deal and if there's logical explanation, I'm fine with it, we can see if it confuses people.

Order or fields

Second, the type field in issue submission is 3rd

• Name
• URL
• Type
• Description

Where as in submission form it's 4th

• Name
• URL
• Description
• Type

Again this is not a big deal but it's kinda logical to have them in order so people can fill in data in the order when they're watching an issue.
